Hail all kindreds of night and shadow! This is my first visit, and already I am enchanted and spellbound. I write poetry as well (by the way, Anduiel's rendition of twilit children is awesome, and right on!) May I share a poem I wrote awhile back? It was inspired by a dream I had and is the essence of my "dark of night" personna.

SHE WHO FLIES

She who flies the dark of of the night,
Upon winged withers of silvery white-
Caresses the skies in the vast expanse,
She beckons the stars to join in her dance.

Still other times she rides by the light
Of the Moon, arms reaching to endless heights-
Shrouded she soars in the clouds' soft billow,
Upon a besom of sacred willow.

In the twilight she folds into veiling embrace,
The jeweled stars of Goddess adorning her face-
Fly, my child, as the wind whips thy cloak,
The echoes of sweet song thy voice will evoke.

In careless abandon, the wise one, she glides,
As one with the night, in dim glow she hides-
The first rays of sunlight her flight will adjourn,
When day falls to shadow, it bids her return.

Galadwen I love the way you put words to your vision. I too write poetry some. I love especially to write about the twilight and moon. If you ever want to read any just pop over to the Scriptorium and look for my poetry thread. I havent written anything for a few months now but have been feeling like the writing itch is coming back...... now if I could just find where my muse is hiding out, then I could do some serious writing.

Welcome to the guild hon!!!

The moon is coming around towards the next full moon. I so long to dance and be lost in her beauty and light! My life is in turmoil right now and I need the peace that she offers to me. I weep to be in her arms, craddled as a young child soothed by its mother.

Vana, I too am looking at the end of warm weather and the chance to dance under the Lady's light. It kind of blends with the End-of-Summer blehs. However I have something that might perk you back up a bit.

There will be a total lunar eclipse for the Western US and FAR Eastern Asia. The best places to see it will be the Pacific Rim, Aleutians, West US coast. Here's alink to a site with info about times.

Yes I am very excited about that. I will be getting up at 2 am to see this wonderous site and it will be the best time to dance as well. Thank you sweetie!! I knew you could make me feel better. That's what big brothers are for isnt it?

Ah the full moon, this month of October in the year 2007, was the largest full moon of the year. I loved it!! the skies had been all cloudy and rainy for days but cleared the afternoon before the full moon so that I had a spectacular view of the full moon when it rose in the sky and all evening!!!

Well, keep coming back and we can get it revived again and flowing with the magic of the twilight!!

I just couldn't see me being the only one posting in here so I just kept an eye on the thread. I think they would get me for spamming if I just kept it to the top by responding to myself. But I have never gone away, I am always here!!

So apparently in the early morning you can see Jupiter, Venus, the Moon and one other heavenly body. I would love see that but, I'm in college, I don't want to get up that early. Hope some of y'all are able to see them though!

Did anyone else get to enjoy the Lunar Eclipse tonight?? It started before I got off work and just about the time I left the building it went into the total eclipse. It was so cool. I guess the next total lunar eclipse wont be till Dec 2010.

I might have to see if my muse is up to writing something cool about it.

A bit late for this, but I did get to see the lunar eclipse a bit. Although I must say that the efforts to get a picture of it were met with less than success. Now truth be known, I was trying to take the picture with a cell camera. Not the best of tools to do this with, admittedly.

But I am delighted to say that the weather is turning fair and this means moonlight dancing. Although I have a new issue. As i am moving soon into the Pittsburgh area, I am losing walking access to my current dancing field. But since it is recently plowed, It's not so fit for dancing. But I'll have to find some green spaces near where I am moving to so I can still enjoy the moonlight. Or I make a trip to the boonies on night near the full.

Good luck on your move sweetie and on finding a new dancing area. Though being in the city might make it a bit hard to do it skyclad.

The last full moon the rain came in so, I was unable to enjoy the opportunity to dance beneath it, but now that I am doing much better, it will be the next full moon that, come rain or shine, I will be dancing outside!

We need a little dancing smilie!!!

Even in the boonies, where I live now, I don't go skyclad. Kilt-clad, yes, usually with a sleeveless undershirt on and my black, knee-high moccasins. That would be acceptable in a municipal park. Although some places might have issue with a half-dressed person dancing in the middle of the night... hmm I'm not overly loud. Point in fact, I'm fairly quiet when I'm out dancing.

As am I my friend!! Who wants to attract unwanted attention when one is busy dancing beneath the moon? I love the idea of you in a kilt!! I love it when my man, Guru wears his!! I do hope you find a great place to dance once you move!!
